Last Saturday night, I felt a piercing fear for the first time! It's just a little after 10 in the evening. I turned off the computer and got ready for bed. When I got up, I suddenly felt dizzy for a few seconds. I sat in the computer chair and had a rest for another minute. Then I went back to my bedroom and tested my blood pressure. Yes 159/ 125, 157/ 126, which scared me. Then I waited for a while and tested it again. The high pressure becomes lower, but the low pressure is still 120+.
Some time ago, when I slept at night, brain waves appeared. I wonder if my blood pressure is high. As it happens, I sprained my ankle. When I went to the town health center for examination, I checked my blood pressure. High pressure 130, low pressure 100. Low pressure is high. The doctor said that it would be tested these days. If it is still high, you need to take medicine.
Then I found my electronic sphygmomanometer at home, bought a new battery, and began to test it every day. 140/98,135,100, 126/93 are basically the same values. Although the low pressure is a little high, it seems that my low pressure is 90 20 years ago. But this time, both high pressure and low pressure are so high. I'm afraid I have a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
Because my mother had a cerebral hemorrhage when she was 46 years old, my second nephew and my fourth aunt also had a cerebral hemorrhage in the past two years. After their cerebral hemorrhage, they all left the sequela of walking inconvenience. My grandmother died of a cerebral hemorrhage when she was in her seventies.
So, I'm scared. If I have a cerebral hemorrhage and don't say I'm dead, I'll leave behind the sequelae of inconvenient legs and slurred speech, which is absolutely unacceptable to me. After all, I am only 36 years old, and my ambition has not been rewarded! And my daughter is only two and a half years old. What should I do in the future? How does the wife bear such a blow?
At this point, they are sleeping soundly.
I was so nervous that I took two tablets of my mother's antihypertensive drugs.
Then I waited for half an hour, my blood pressure dropped a little, and then I went to bed.
The next morning, I took my blood pressure again. High pressure 130, low pressure 98. It's a little high, but I'm not afraid. Because it's been like this for twenty years. The problem is that it may be due to antihypertensive drugs.
I looked up a lot of information on the internet. If you want to go to the hospital for examination, you'd better not take antihypertensive drugs. If you eat it, check it three days later.
So I decided to check it again in three days.
I took another blood pressure test this afternoon, and I was even more scared. My high pressure has become 140, which is still within the acceptable range, but my low pressure has become 1 10, and even more frightening is that my pulse has become 120. Could it be a mistake? I changed my arm again, and so on. Every time my pulse is about 1 15. Isn't this even scarier? I measured my heartbeat with a stethoscope, and it was 10 1 several times.
In the next three days, I found a pattern. Blood pressure and heartbeat are the lowest in the morning and the fastest in the afternoon and evening.
I asked Dr. Lilac's experts that low pressure and high pressure generally do not cause cerebral hemorrhage. I felt a sort of surge of relief.
Second, I realized how fat I was after my physical examination.
Today is Wednesday, go to the physical examination. A nurse classmate suggested that I find Xue, director of the Department of Cardiology. I went there to inquire about the situation and had an electrocardiogram and a blood test. Electrocardiogram showed that sinus tachycardia eased arrhythmia. I'm surprised. My heart is beating too fast. The doctor said it was not neat, that is, sometimes it was high and sometimes it was low.
Next is a blood test. Blood lipid, blood sugar, liver function and renal function were examined respectively.
The nurse drew blood from her elbow. She chose a place, wiped it with a cotton swab, and then inserted a blood collection needle. The blood didn't come out. She was a little surprised and went deeper, but there was still no blood. Then she will stick it out, and all the needles and needles are stuck in her arm. I can't hold on any longer, and the blood is slowly pouring out.
I can't help but smile: am I too fat?
She smiled shyly and said, it's a little deep You don't usually have to go so deep. ...
The test results didn't come out until 3 pm.
So, we went to the cafe in the nearby shopping mall to sit for a while (my foot was still broken and I couldn't move, my wife took the children shopping and I rested there).
The test results taken in the afternoon showed that the blood sugar was not high; Triglycerides in blood lipids exceed the standard; Renal function and uric acid exceeded the standard. In terms of liver function, the first item exceeded the standard 1 times, and the second item exceeded the standard by 5 times.
I have checked many times before, and every time the first item of liver function exceeds the standard, there is nothing else, so I didn't care. Because even if you catch a cold or take other drugs, it will lead to the first item exceeding the standard.
The doctor prescribed a box of imported drugs for lowering blood pressure and heart rate, and let me try it for a week first. Review in a week. But because the liver function is damaged, let me go to the fatty liver department of Department of Cardiology.
I registered again and went to the cardiology department, saying that my liver was damaged. Do you smoke and drink? I said I don't smoke or drink. The first one is serious, because of fatty liver?
It may be a virus or fatty liver, but whatever it is, you need to see how your liver is damaged, he said.
I said, I have a physical examination every year, and I have fatty liver for many years.
He asked me to check for liver fibrosis.
Inspection fee 175 yuan.
When I got to the hepatology building, the doctor said, haven't you checked this before? I said no, every time the doctor said there was fatty liver, but no doctor advised me to check this.
She said she should go and see it. The test results show that severe fatty liver and liver fibrosis are slightly higher than normal people, but they are not serious and do not belong to irreversible diseases. It can be repaired by diet adjustment and exercise adjustment. The key is to lose weight. If you don't lose weight, everything comes.
I thought about it, in fact, all my problems are caused by my belly. Fatty liver, rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure. Fatty liver is caused by improper diet and sedentary behavior.
But I didn't take it seriously. Especially this month, because of a fracture, the doctor wouldn't let my foot move, so I simply stopped moving. Basically, eating and typing in front of the computer. So, this month, I will feel dizzy, my heart will beat too fast and my blood pressure will rise. ...
Doctors in cardiology also said that it was caused by obesity, so we must lose weight. I was prescribed a medicine to protect my liver, and I was asked to recheck it after half a month. At the time of reexamination, I have to check whether it is liver injury caused by viral hepatitis such as hepatitis A and hepatitis C or simple steatohepatitis.
I have a physical examination of hepatitis B every year, and I have antibodies. I don't think it is hepatitis B. I also checked the symptoms of hepatitis A and hepatitis C, and it doesn't look like it. It should be caused by fatty liver.
In the final analysis, losing weight is not an aesthetic or image problem for me, but a matter of life and death.
Third, how fat am I?
Although my heart beat faster because of the sudden increase in blood pressure, I went to see a doctor, but in the end, fatty liver and obesity were the most serious. High blood pressure and heartbeat, but nothing.
I weighed 75.5kg (the standard weight should be 59kg, which exceeded the standard by 3 1kg) because I couldn't eat for a month (the doctor couldn't move because of a fracture) and gained weight 1kg.
The waist circumference has changed from 105 to 106, which is 37cm higher than my standard waist circumference of 69cm (standard waist height *0.42).
Chest circumference and hip circumference are very standard, 3CM lower than the standard.
I am a standard abdominal obesity. The abdomen is like a ball, and it is a protruding ball.
Compared with the bust, the protruding part is 35cm in the horizontal direction and 35cm in the vertical direction, that is to say, if it is semicircular, the radius is 35/3.1415926 =11.14. That is to say, the protruding length of the fattest part of my stomach is 1 1. 14cm. ..
What is this concept? The width of the ID card is 5.5cm, and the protruding part of my stomach is higher than both ID cards. The length of the ID card is 8.5, and the protruding part of my belly (only the protruding part, not the whole belly) is 2.6cm longer than the length of the ID card.
Fourth, reflection.
Due to ankle sprain and fracture, I didn't exercise for a month, which fully exposed my physical illness.
If I hadn't sprained my ankle and broken my bone, I would still take a walk every day, and there would be no uncomfortable symptoms in a short time. I am still not fully aware of my poor health. I will eat casually, stay still for a long time, and pay no attention to diet and rest. ...
Finally, when the symptoms appear, I'm afraid they are irreversible, and taking medicine can't fix them, so I can only barely maintain a bad situation.
I have neglected my body for a long time. For example, I know about fatty liver, but I have never paid attention to it. I always feel that fatty liver is not serious. But when the quantitative change accumulates to qualitative change, it is too late to regret.
Fortunately, God gave me another chance.
Think of a friend, when I was 40 years old, I suddenly learned that I had diabetes, which is still a serious one. At that moment, he became particularly depressed and was in his prime. He was trying to do a good job. The sad news hit him and made him lose his lofty aspirations. He felt that his life no longer belonged to him, but to death. His efforts can only slow down the pace. He had to fight death for the rest of his life. I have no energy and mood to do other things.
Since then, he has walked for at least three hours every day, rain or shine. However, although his body is better, it is not particularly good. Because he just exercises, he has no taboos (except not eating sugary food and drinks). He likes to eat big fish and meat, and likes to eat greasy food. As long as there is an opportunity (he will create an opportunity without it), he will go to dinner (caused by his childhood absence). So his exercise effect is also discounted.
I still think of my grandfather. In August the year before last, my aunt opened a mutton soup kitchen. Since then, my grandfather has to walk five miles every morning to drink mutton soup there for half a year until the end of the year. I was a little worried in the middle, afraid that I would get angry after drinking too much and wouldn't let him go. But grandpa is old, has some Alzheimer's disease, and his hearing is poor, so he can't communicate. Even if he said yes, he turned around and forgot. Still go every day, and his taste is numb. He always puts a lot of salt in the soup. ...
In this way, he used to have high blood pressure (for which he was hospitalized in a coma) and ate high fat and salt every day (if he didn't eat, he would secretly put salt on himself). One night, he suddenly had a nosebleed. I found blood everywhere on the bed, quilt, wall and ground. It's terrible.
The next night, it was the same thing again. Moreover, I was afraid that he would bleed too much to block his nose, and then the blood would spill from his eyes and ears, which scared me silly and scared me to let go. It will be safer for blood to flow out of his nose.
In this way, grandpa had a nosebleed on the beach for two consecutive nights.
Miraculously, after a nosebleed, he got the folk prescription and drank it twice. On the third night, he didn't have a nosebleed again. Since then, he has become like a healthy person. I just dare not let him go to my aunt's house to drink mutton soup again.
I later thought: Grandpa's nosebleed is a good thing. Drinking mutton soup every day, there is too much fat in the blood vessels, which narrows the blood vessels and accumulates a lot of blood, which needs an outlet. No nosebleed is a cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, it is best to have a nosebleed (later I read a book on hypertension and hyperlipidemia edited by Hu Dayi, the graduate director of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Peking University People's Hospital, which also mentioned this point).
Besides, my grandfather lost his ability to work because of Alzheimer's disease, although he was in good health. I don't know how to dress in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. I like to add more salt when eating. Sometimes I forget to eat after eating and ask for another meal. I can't find my home occasionally, but I can't help walking and wandering back and forth on the road to the north of our village every day. You can walk at least 20 kilometers every day.
It is precisely because he walks more than 20 kilometers every day (except eating and sleeping) that although he eats unhealthy, he is still in good health. I haven't even caught a cold all the year round (except for that nosebleed, I took medicine for two days and didn't take medicine at other times).
Once, he found a box of medicine somewhere and wanted to eat it. I wouldn't let him take it, saying you weren't sick. What medicine are you taking?
He said, that's true, but since I have the medicine, wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't take it?
Finally, my wife tricked him into taking the medicine. ...
His health depends entirely on coming out.
I'm thinking, if I pay attention to my diet and keep exercising. I should be able to reverse my health, make myself healthier and healthier, and fatty liver can gradually disappear!
For example, a fatty liver mother who donated liver to her son made her fatty liver disappear completely by running away, thus realizing her wish to donate liver to her son.
Verb (short for verb) plan
From now on, my lifestyle will be completely changed. Work and making money have taken a back seat. Besides sleeping, diet and sports have become my biggest concerns.
I spend more than two and a half hours eating breakfast and lunch every day. Exercise time will also exceed three and a half hours (not strenuous exercise, of course).
Sleep is from 9 pm to 5 am to make up for lack of sleep.
So after 8 pm, it's best to send an email, don't leave a message on WeChat or QQ (email is read every morning), and don't wait for my reply on the same day. One hour before going to bed, that is, after 8 pm, I need to calm my mind, otherwise I can't sleep well.
I also sleep for half an hour at noon.
Working hours (including writing, reading, lectures, etc. ) It is arranged from 5: 30 to 7: 00 in the morning. 7: 30 to 9: 00 10: 30 to 1 1: 30. From 13 to 16. 18 to 20. (Working 9 hours a day)
At 9:00- 10:30, 16- 17:30, I have to go out for a walk (I guess I can't go now after half a month, so I have to use a movable arm instead).
My wife used to cook according to her mood. When in a good mood, she cooks with her heart. If you are in a normal mood, just do it casually. I'm not in the mood, so I won't do it. I am in a good mood, so I eat well. When I am in a bad mood, I will make do with it. I'm not in the mood, just grab something to eat.
In the future, I can't do this anymore. I want to make a recipe that suits me and eat it according to the recipe in the future.
If the food is salty, I won't eat it, instead of eating it no matter how salty it is, as in the past. Try not to eat meat. Don't eat fried food and greasy food. I should try to eat less carbohydrates and other things without nutrition.
Now rest for another four days as planned, make recipes and read some leisure books. Start work next week.
This may be God's last chance for me. If we don't cherish this opportunity, a sad fate will inevitably come. Whether for myself or for my family, I will seize this opportunity to live healthily! When my daughter is older, I will show her around.
